Target of 9 st reached with Exante! :happy096:...............Until i started the IVF/ICSI process and my weight crept up to 10 st 7 lbs then i managed to gain 5 st while pregnant. (I did eat whatever i wanted)I am trying to lose as much of this gain as possible by May 28th when i go to Santorini for my brother in laws wedding. Then i will continue on my journey back to 9st on my return.
After being 9st and absolutely loving it, there is no way i will stay this big!!
I still can't believe that after 6 years, i have my baby. He is amazing.:heartpump:

Definately try it hot with a spoon of coffee. You can add a tablet sweetner, cinnamon even. Not tried mixing it with vanilla as having it with coffee suffices and I like the vanilla as it is. Experiment and I'm sure you'll find something that works for you. Plus our tastes do change as we go on so try sticking with it. Let us know how you get on

i don't mind the chocolate flavour (in fact not too bothered about any of them to be honest ) but I'm loving the idea of using mint tea or coffee to mix the chocolate shake with. Would probably have it cold though as don't like the idea of having it hot. Perhaps with some ice cubes to really chill it down for that frappe experience .

I find that all the shakes are pretty weak flavoured and need a boost! I know it is not strictly allowed but I add a level teaspoon of Green & Black's organic cocoa to the chocolate one, 20 cals, 2g carb makes a massive difference to the chocolate flavour and hasn't affected my weight loss so far

I sometimes make it up with about 1/3rd of a mug of water and then zap it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds and it makes a really thick chocolatey sauce, or if you use less water, it makes like a little muffiny thing. (I don't much like it either hot or cold as a shake). However, I do like the sound of adding some cocoa to it... mmmmmm

Has anyone just got a new batch of shakes? I recieved my new batch the other day and something seems to have happened to the chocolate. Its really thick, had to put loads more water with it, its also much sweeter and leaves an after taste. I emailed Exante they say the formulation hasn't changed but would I try another and let them know if it was the same and the batch numbers. I'm not looking forward to trying it as the first one I had to throw away as it was making me nausious... I hate really sweet things...
